A Late Winter Stroll through Mostar

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>It's a transitional period in Mostar right now. I'm fairly certain that we are counting down the last winter days, even though some rain has been prognosed for the rest of this week.</b> Yesterday we had a sunny winter day, which was more then inviting for a stroll through the city. I went out later in the day for a walk with my cousin Azra, but still managed to capture some of the light from the setting sun.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>click on the images for a bigger view</i><br /><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttKklTvuPOEZ8XTSd1MDmbwxvUz4_Hdzxd6rwJfhv2kTCDIlLb8zpRc7MLjYzycRAVghzIkgdazuAJn21BGUovs569FGZ6pdc9qjYqetLJMwDOLDqGrjPgC-SW1ZJRVQJtZLdjJW9Lt0/s1600/IMG_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttKklTvuPOEZ8XTSd1MDmbwxvUz4_Hdzxd6rwJfhv2kTCDIlLb8zpRc7MLjYzycRAVghzIkgdazuAJn21BGUovs569FGZ6pdc9qjYqetLJMwDOLDqGrjPgC-SW1ZJRVQJtZLdjJW9Lt0/s1600/IMG_01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><a name="more"></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;">Since it was a nice day outside, a lot of people were out and about, especially in the city park.

In the next two shots you will see an old and abandoned building, which used to be a library, but it never got rebuild. I hope it will find a new owner soon.</div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9qZf4-nU0lJ2n3ROc6pqeY-1WmSNMioJUfnjmHZzzPxiljGWE1M8mVSlJK0hGAT0oPQ23vk_oQI0qokHlea8yrkJ0OD84Oq7x2XKyVLL9yvp7NywTOj4zed4-Z74RRRBmQDb9hV1ntyI/s1600/IMG_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left;
